stereotype australians

Ok I really didn't intend this on being a Aussie vs Kiwi thing but I really do have to stand up for my country. As said earlier we aren't selfish people we have had all those titles for years..so we should let it slide for a year or so to let the other countries no what success feels like hahaha

Oh and I truly don't have anything agains kiwi's but could you be a bit more orginal with their flag..I mean you have copied ours but just coloured in the stars red!

i would just like to point out that australia was formed in 1901, it has not been a country for 200 years, there was settlement but that didnt make it a country. so we didnt go 200 years without an anthem, when correcting other people`s statements it is always best to also check your own

I think we need to settle this once and for all. Okay, we're getting 5 Australians to the left hand side of the field and 5 New Zealanders on the right hand side. Now, everybody gets an oversized cotton bud and off you go. Last one standing gets the 'Superior Country' Award issued by the Queen of England herself. How about that?

On a more serious note, please remember to add an emoticon if you're post is meant satirical or a bit more light hearted. A lot of stereotype threads have ended up in personal attacks because of that. Thanks.

Now there is a fair reason why there are so many kiwi's living in Aus.If you are going to be on the dole, you might as well be in the sun and someone needs to add a touch of culture to the place .

Lou.c. - opps sorry about that, but i can admit when i'm in the wrong , but hey, most aussies thought waltzing matilda was the national anthem for long enough , mind you i think it sounds better than the one aus has now anyway.

And i'm with James, Pardus - suggestions of cotton buds, sounds like you had too much of the black stuff!!

As for how I became Moderator, I still don't fully know. I remember meeting with Sam and Pete in the pub and getting some pints and from there my memory goes a bit hazy. I remember waking up in a broom closet with a dust brush sticking uncomfortably into my back...

As for the topic of the conversation - I only met a few Aussies and Kiwis, so I can't really add much to the conversation. But everybody I met from both countries were equally mad!

Bet you didnt know that the top writer for the simpsons is from Montreal! Montreal is in Canada if you werent sure.

Whoosh, I'm glad I didn't end up on the end of that towel snap

Did you know that George Dubbleya hired a Canadian to write his speeches? His name is David Fromm and his mother was a broadcast journalist on Canadian tv. Doesn't that make you wonder if Georgé's 'bushisms'can really be attributed to him?

Montreal is in Canada presently, but if the separatists have their way, it might end up in another country some day
